A casual laidback ambience set with long communal tables makes Bloody French just the place to go to for a leisurely lunch or celebratory evening meal. Seating is well spaced so guests won't be knocking elbows and the food is traditional French. Located in Westbourne Grove, it has an unmistakable Parisian bistro air. An additional incentive to dine out here is the fact that customers can bring their own wine from Sunday through Tuesday.

The concise menu's Gallic stamp is evident with dishes such as ballotine of foie gras rolled in pistachio and glazed with maple syrup and pan fried scallops with salsify and cauliflower purée. The main course comes alive with slowly braised lamb shoulder stuffed with rosemary and apricots as well as roast salmon and vegetables in puff pastry papillote. More options in the form of parmentier of duck confit, b?uf bourguignon and confit leg and roast breast of pheasant reveal the full extent of the chef's repertoire. Appletini granité or white chocolate crème brûlée conclude the meal graciously. Set meals offer more options.
